For many people working with video is not easy. However with the new Windows program called "Shortcut", sold by Softradar, this program makes it very very simple to do any type of editing with a variety of video formatted files (used across Windows, Linux and Mac) and also includes over 300 special effects you can add to your videos with video templates. It is so simple to use due its interface that a beginner could start make their own movie from Day One. So if you love working with digital video, this is one software program for your Windows PC you have to check out. If this program is backed by Black Magic design support, an Australian company who edits Emmy winning TV shows such as Game of Thrones, for input and configuring how can you go wrong?

This new video editing software sounds like it simplifies the entire video creating process. It would be a very convenient software for anyone just beginning to learn how to do this. However it did not mention the cost, if any. If it is expensive many beginners might not be able to take advantage of it.

The software is good, it describes how is free and you can't be that. Also it being virus free is also a good thing about it.The only down fall to it is that it updates daily which could sometimes be a interrupting issue. Other than that its great!

I was shocked with how amazing this editing software works. I used macbook for years while I was in school so my main editing software was Imovie. I recently bought a windows laptop so no Imovie. Downloaded this and works like a charm. Its easy to learn and just as powerful as Imovie. It should be what Windows uses for editing instead of the built in Movie Maker.

This is great user-friendly video editor that has a clean interface and a lot of tools and options. For an average user, I find it simple to download and that won't take much time to learn. It is an amazing tool for everybody. It can neatly import almost anything supported by mpeg including the 4K videos and image files. The filters are also easy to use, and the tool helps customization in your own way.Highly recommended!!

I Love how Useful I found this software to edit incoming game streams. The software is free by the way, for those of you hesitant with newer software, this can be a no-go but it IS also open source so it doesn't seem too interested in acting maliciously. It was easy to use, had a great interface but I do feel it could support more video formats. This can be solved by installing the K-Lite codec pack and Boom, ALL good.
